Wow, $60 on top of the already $97 fee. Why does it have to cost $97 to begin with? Providing you apply with the right credentials, what in the process makes it so expensive? Also before the US government decided to require everybody traveling outside the US, even to Canada to obtain a passport, did it take this long to get a passport? I've been reading a bit more on it and it fries my butt a bit that this service is so expensive (what a nice light $157 will buy) and apparently how ill pre-prepared the government was when it made this blanket passport requirement.
